What options do we have to deal with suspected downvote brigading or voting abuse on lemmy and what do we do to report it
Hey there buddy,
Decided I'd poke my head in here and see whats going on. To answer your question directly, you can report it to myself or another admin, along with specific examples, links, and other available evidence. If we investigate and it's clear that there is some form of brigading/abuse, we will take appropriate action against the user(s)/community that is being problematic- particularly if they are following someone across communities and instances.
If your conflict with a given user or group of users is mostly contained within one community, we will (generally) leave that to the community mods discretion.
All of that being said, I looked through your post history and I dont really see what you're talking about. Can you DM me with some specific examples of the behavior you're concerned about?
I'd love to see the ability to downvote being proportionate to a user's platform engagement and interaction. Maybe everyone gets an individual downvote pool. Making a comment gives you 2 available downvotes, a post gives you 6.
Message instance admins. They can see it.
What makes you think there is any voting abuse on Lemmy though?
